Grumpy Monkey The Egg-Sitter

Why do organizations keep causing harm? And how do we cure toxic cultures? "A timely, rigorous, and deeply unsettling book."—Amy C. Edmondson, Novartis Professor of Leadership and Management, Harvard Business School, and author of The Fearless Organization Not a week goes by with out yet another major organizational scandal: Open AI’s agents going rogue, Volkswagen’s emissions cheating, Boeing’s persistent safety issues, endemic police misconduct at the Oakland PD, and sexual abuse at yet another Roman Catholic Church. So why do do organizations keep causing these harms? Benjamin van Rooij and Nicholas Lord argue that to truly understand and address the impacts of dysfunctional organizations we must look beyond leadership and understand the deeper problems in the organization itself. To do so, Toxic uses dozens of in-depth case studies to connect the dots between various scandals and illustrate the deeper toxic patterns within organizations that lead to them. Each chapter recounts compelling stories of individuals caught within these toxic systems and addresses urgent societal challenges such as environmental degradation, the opioid epidemic, the harms of social media, and police abuse. Stories include:<ul><li>Facebook sought to grow from 1 billion to 5 billion users, leading it to enter Myanmar’s volatile ethnic context without having the knowledge or capacity to do proper content moderation, and thus contributing to genocide.</li><li>Don Parus, a BP engineer made an all-out effort to warn company leaders to invest in safety, just months before a major explosion killed fiteen and injured hundreds at its Texas City Refinery.</li><li>Keith Batt, a rookie at the Oakland Police Department, was made to witness, condone and participate in falsifying arrest records, planting evidence, and even in unsanctioned violence, all within two weeks on the job.</li></ul>Revealing, accessible, engaging, and unsettling, Toxic breaks down the core characteristics of toxic organizations and shows readers how to recognize and address toxicity in their everyday lives.

How Organizations Go Bad

Toxic

Catfish Charlie

Shoot or Cut Bait

Rumors about the Knox and its influence have swirled through Boston for centuries. While some believe the secret society is merely an elite social club, others are convinced it hides something more sinister... Vivian Lawrence was born into old-money Boston, but when her family fortune vanishes so does her carefully curated life. Desperate, she turns to an old family legend that ties her to the Knox and its inheritance, seeking a way into the exclusive secret society. She doesn’t expect that entry to come in the form of Peter, a Knox insider with movie star good looks and just enough roughness to his charm to make Vivian weak in the knees for the first time in her life. Far from Boston’s glittering elite is newcomer Taylor Adams, a young nurse eager to leave her humble past behind. When the effortlessly glamorous Vivian lands in her ER after a suspicious fall, Taylor is instantly captivated. But then Vivian abruptly disappears without a trace, sending Taylor on a search for answers that pulls her into the Knox itself—as their new employee. The further Taylor ventures into the Knox’s world of unimaginable wealth and dark history, the more the mystery surrounding Vivian deepens. As Taylor will soon discover, more so than money or status, secrets are this society’s true currency.

Little Clothbound Classics

Little Clothbound Classics: irresistible, mini editions of short stories, novellas, and essays from the world’s greatest writers, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith. In these elegant and devastating tales of deception, desire, and social intrigue, Edith Wharton exposes the brittle veneer of civility that masks human ambition and longing. From the sunlit terraces of Rome to the drawing rooms of New York, Wharton’s characters navigate a world bound by class and convention yet charged with emotional undercurrents they barely understand. In “Roman Fever,” two middle-aged women confront the unspoken rivalries that have shadowed their friendship for decades; in “Mrs. Manstey’s View,” a lonely widow’s cherished glimpse of life beyond her window becomes the stage for a quiet tragedy; and in “After Holbein,” the elaborate pretenses of two aging New Yorkers reveal the haunting persistence of vanity and illusion. These Wharton works are the latest to join the Little Clothbound Classic series designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith. Penguin Classics is the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world, representing a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

Roman Fever

Discover the chilling new novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Murder Road and The Sun Down Motel, a terrifying ghost story about the scariest place of all - home. 'From the book's chillingly creepy setting... to a nerve-jangling plot... to the writing itself... everything about St. James' latest is done to perfection." Booklist -- It all started with a game of hide and seek. The four Esmie children were playing together when the youngest brother, Ben, went off to hide, and was never seen again. That was long ago. It's been eighteen years since the siblings fled their childhood home, Fell House, the one that holds all the ghosts of the past. They've built separate lives, but all of them carry the psychological scars of that fateful day. But then Violet receives a call from the house's caretaker. He's too scared to keep working there. He says he saw the spirit of a young boy whispering two words . . . Come home. -- PRAISE FOR SIMONE ST JAMES "As creepy and unsettling as a rain-faded wreath and teddy bear found by the side of the road to mark a missing person, [it] lingers like a ghost long after it's finished." Grady Hendrix, New York Times bestselling author of How to Sell a Haunted House "From its terrifying opening to its jaw-dropping conclusion, this thriller has it all-small town secrets, ominous dark deeds after midnight. You will follow this shocking road to its climatic end!" Lisa Gardner, #1 New York Times Bestselling author of Still See You Everywhere 'Fast, chilling, entertaining, unexpectedly touching, and with two broken, memorable characters at its core' New York Times Book Review'Clever and wonderfully chilling. It held me hostage' Fiona Barton

A Box Full of Darkness

El periplo desnudo y descarnado de un marinero a la deriva. Y el relato que le costó el exilio a Gabriel García Márquez. 'Mi libro preferido, y el primero que escribí.' Gabriel García Márquez Con este libro, Gabriel García Márquez se descubrió a sí mismo como un narrador. Sin embargo, la intención primera era escribir un reportaje sobre un hombre, Luis Alejandro Velasco, que estuvo diez días a la deriva en una balsa mecida por el mar Caribe. El futuro Nobel de Literatura y entonces joven reportero que era García Márquez escuchó el relato de los hechos de boca de su protagonista y los transformó, tal vez sin pretenderlo, en un prodigioso ejercicio literario, una narración escueta y vigorosa donde late el pulso de un gran escritor. La publicación por entregas del reportaje en El Espectador de Bogotá supuso un alboroto político considerable -se revelaba la existencia de contrabando ilegal en un buque de la Armada colombiana, lo que costó la vida de siete marineros y el naufragio, más afortunado, de Velasco- y el exilio para su autor. 'El 22 de febrero nos anunció que regresaríamos a Colombia. Teníamos ocho meses de estar en Mobile, Alabama, Estados Unidos, donde el A.R.C. Caldas fue sometido a reparaciones electrónicas y de sus armamentos. En los días de franquicia hacíamos lo que hacen todos los marineros en tierra: íbamos al cine con la novia y nos reuníamos después en Joe Palooka, una taberna del puerto, donde tomábamos whisky y armábamos una bronca de vez en cuando.' La crítica dijo... 'Su narración más perfecta.' El País

Relato de un náufrago / The Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor

In this hugely original blend of thriller, sci-fi and horror, a trio of Blockbuster employees discover they may be able to change the endings of popular films and, thus, the world around them. The last Blockbuster video store in the United States is hanging on by a thread. And after a crazy night attempting to track down a lost VCR rental to collect the record-setting and internet-famous late fee, three employees, idealistic Eva, cinephile Jerry, and their tyrannical manager Randy, discover that this machine may actually have the power to change the endings of popular films, which, depending on the historical basis of the film, might also be changing the real world around them. Or could this just be an elaborate, increasingly deadly prank? When they begin receiving videotapes and voicemails seemingly depicting their deaths, Eva, Jerry, and Randy scramble to keep the VCR from falling into the wrong hands. And as one action-packed evening begins to seemingly repeat itself (or does it?), scores are settled and unwanted confessions begin to fly, until a Final Girl finally unravels a grand psychological experiment orchestrated at the highest levels of a crumbling social media empire.

Claudine's House

An INSTANT USA Today Bestseller! A plucky librarian and an archaeologist on the run fake an engagement to save their lives, leading them into the labyrinth of their own desires. Daniela Guiterrez has been in love with her brother’s best friend for as long as she can remember—until he went missing a year ago during an archaeological expedition. But on a solo trip to Greece, the intrepid librarian discovers that Theo is very much alive, although judging by the criminals holding him hostage, he is not doing well. An expert in Ancient Greek archaeology, Dr. Theo Galanis has been abducted by artifact smugglers in search of a priceless gemstone—the Eye of the Minotaur. This ridiculous assignment was supposed to get Dani out of his system, not keep her tied up next to him. But when a little white lie spirals into his captors believing Theo and Dani are engaged, they must utilize her research skills and his expertise to solve the centuries’ old Minoan mystery, all while feigning a romance to keep each other alive. Now with less than six days to find the jewel, underground societies, mythological beings, and pesky abductors are only half the battle. Because among the ancient ruins and temples they explore is an even bigger danger: falling in love for real.
